One of the other talented art teachers in my school, became involved in a local art teachers group, this is thier first student exhibition Art in The Heart at the Axis Theatre Ballymun. As part of ‘Lift Ballymun Youth Arts Festival’ 2010, Using mixed media, print, collage and paint, the students used the heart as the central symbol to create the various pieces that combine to make this exhibition. Thanks too Freedom for the photos.

I have updates the Selotape Sculpture post with some of the work my students are doing, if you want to have a look.

I went to an Specialist Crafts In-service yesterday and there was a good workshop by Ian Cook, I maight try and do something like this with my students. The boys always love drawing cars so this might intrest them. He also showed us a great way to do the colour wheel. The photos show a pint of Guinness a group of us made with wheels and toy cars.

Art Class Inspiration

I am always looking for inspiration for my art classes and I often come across great things on the internet but have no where to store them all. I created this blog to store all the links and information that I have gathered and hopefull it will be easier to find and it will also assist other art teachers.
